Project Cubbins: Hat 449 - Don't Say Moo to the Partial Cow Edition

Day 449 / Hat 449: Paper headband photo-printed with the face and ears of a Holstein cow on the front. Right side printed with Chick-fil-A logo in red,left side printed with the words "Eat Mor Chikin" in black and interior printed with the following: "Come to any Chick-fil-A restaurant on July 11 wearing this headband and receive a FREE entrée. Dress completely like a cow and get a FREE meal. cowappreciationday.com #CowAppreciationDay.Given to me moments ago by co-worker Russ Parsons who no doubt received it from the fast food joint's marketing efforts, it included the cow critter I'm chewing on like cud. The interior of the headband is printed with all manner of rule and regulation such as wt "fully dsressed as a cow" means (and I quote):"'Fully dressed as a cow' means effort to be dressed like a cow from head to toe. 'Partial cow attire' means just a cow accessory, such as a cow-printed hat, vest or purse. People dressed in partial attire will be awarded an entrée vs. a full Meal."

Yes, sorry to say, I'm phoning it in in this photo and barely qualifying as "partial cow." But I think I should get extra points for including a man on a ladder climbing into (or out of, we're not sure) the office ceiling in the background. Oh, in case you're wondering, even though we've missed the cow-colored boat for this year -- mark your calendar for July 10, 2015, which according to Chick-fil-A's website, is next year's big old cow day.Related:PC 441: More CowbellPC 49: Miller Lite BoxA Year Ago Today in Project Cubbins
